Abstract: Computerized detection of one or more user interface objects is performed by processing an image file containing one or more user interface objects of a user interface generated by an application program. Sub-control objects can be detected in the image file, where each sub-control object can form a portion of a user interface object that receives user input. Extraneous sub-control objects can be detected. Sub-control objects that overlap with or that are within a predetermined vicinity of an identified set of sub-control objects can be removed. Sub-control objects in the identified set of sub-control objects can be correlated to combine one or more of the sub-control objects in the identified set of sub-control objects to generate control objects that correspond to certain of the user interface objects of the user interface generated by the application program.

Abstract: A novel eco-friendly method has been developed for the fabrication of high dense (3.3-5.2 g/cc) red mud based material blocks for shielding high energy X- and ?-rays. The red mud based material blocks with various densities were fabricated by hot compacting partially melted red mud, red mud:Bi2O3, red mud:Ba(OH)2 and red mud:Bi2O3:Ba(OH)2 samples at 1150° C., 1000° C., 1050° C. and 1000° C., respectively. This material can be used to build radiation shielding structures in medical diagnosis, radiotherapy, industrial radiography, particle accelerators, food sterilization plants, nuclear power plants, and radioactive material storage rooms, without further structural support unlike lead (concrete walls). It is economically viable and will suppress the accumulation of hazardous red mud and associated environmental pollutions.

Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to intelligent migration between personal area networks (PANs) of a wireless mesh network. In one example, a method includes receiving, by a node connected to a first PAN, a packet from a second PAN. Based on the packet, the node determines that a second instability factor related to stability of the second PAN differs by at least a margin from a first instability factor related to stability of the first PAN. The node transmits, to a neighboring node in the first PAN, a migration notification message indicating that the node is migrating and receives, from the neighboring node in the first PAN, a request for the node to remain in the first PAN. The node applies one or more rules to reject the request for the node to remain in the first PAN and, based on rejecting the request, proceeds to complete the migration.

Abstract: A method for facilitating payment transactions includes receiving, by a server, a flash code request indicative of a transaction amount. A flash code associated with the transaction amount is communicated by the server to the payer device. The flash code is encoded into a flash pattern at the payer device and communicated to a payee device of a payee for executing a payment transaction between the payer and the payee.

The flash code included in the first request is validated by the server. Based on successful validation of the flash code, the transaction amount is deducted from a payer account of the payer and credited to a payee account of the payee.
